3. Common mistakes 😬

🗣️ "They often focus too much on their own issue or goal rather than what the audience needs.

Tailor your message to resonate with supporters with clear calls to action!"

1. Campaigning on a small budget 💰

🗣️ "Utilise the free tools out there, such as Canva, Linktree and various outreach assets.

Also, repurpose existing content. For example, a blog post can be broken down into mini blogs, Twitter threads, TikToks"

A strong online presence can be any charity's number 1 tool for growth, but how do you do it?

We had a chat with Nick from our good friends at
@mediatrust.bsky.social to answer just that!

2. When stuck for campaign ideas 💭

🗣️" Draw inspiration from other charities,campaigners and even branding or marketing people.

There’s so many marketing influencers on LinkedIn, who are really good at giving you advice and ideas"
